bill: explain why that is so critical in an election that appears to be razor-tight, not just nationally but in these battleground states? >> well, enthusiasm is important because voting is a voluntary act and we've seen again and again that the side that can generate the most enthusiasm and get its supporters out to vote has an edge that is worth, 1%, 2%, or whatever, of the total vote. in a landslide year that doesn't make any difference. in an election that is as tight as, you know, today's 46-45 obama-romney race, obviously it could make all the difference. bill: michael, good to see you. michael barone, your analysis from washington to our viewers. do you have a question about this? foxnews.com /americasnewsroom. shut me an e-mail, hemme hemmer@foxnews.com or. bya because you asked. we have a great question about chemical call weapons in syria. we'll put that to peter brookes. jamie: that is quite a tease. check it out. how about drones in the sigh? how easy would it be for a terrorist to take one of those over? we'll take a look at that. apparently it is not that hard. we'll have a

. >> the president is warning his supporters, it's going to be razor tight, razor close this race. more and more people are saying to me -- and i'm listening to the pundits say this over and over again -- that this is going to boil down to one thing and one thing only, that unemployment number as we get closer to november. do you disagree? >> i do. i felt this way for a year now, that it's a referendum on the economy. and as i've been going around the country, the people are very wary about what they're hearing, recovery or not, there's kind of a bait and switch going on. we seem to be in recovery in april or may and then suddenly it turns sour when you get to june. the president's had two bad setbacks in the last week. first of all, the number that came out last friday, and then wisconsin. even though he didn't go out there and get involved, it showed the muscle of the republican party. and as my friend chuck todd says, they've come to play this time in a way they didn't four years ago. >> save wisconsin. i'll get to that in just a second, though. when you talk about the economy,
